Week One at Chatham

Greetings from Chatham!

This week has flown by!  It has been great to see both returning and brand new campers have such an amazing week.  

Today we had some exciting break times.  This morning we played a kickball tournament for ivy points and to continue working on team building skills.  

During the afternoon break time we were able to enjoy the gorgeous weather to buy lemonade from out Lemonade Stand class.  All of the students were able to discuss the future businesses that they want to start and how this class has helped them.  

In order to see some more pictures of all the great things our campers have done this week, please visit our flickr account here.  Happy camping!

Products of Handwork and Machine Sewing Workshop

Only two days into the class and these girls are already off to a great start! Today the girls at Chatham taking the Handwork and Machine Sewing Workshop finished their first project. They first got to choose the material they wanted to use, making sure the colors looked good together. Then they used a sewing pattern to choose what type of bag to make. After cutting out the pieces of the pattern, they cut the fabric into the corresponding pieces. Next they sewed it all together and voilà they had professional looking bags! Up next they will be making Denim Dop Bags! 

Mad Science

Today in mad science we made mini tornadoes.  First we filled the cup with water.  Then we put red food coloring.  After, we put the cap on and shook the cup.  Last we put glitter in the cup and put the cap on.  That's how we made mini tornadoes.  After, we made mini earthquakes.  We made structures and saw if it could handle an earthquake.  Last we made mini volcanoes.  We put water and red food coloring.  Last we put the volcano in water and it erupted.  Mad science was fun.
